Do You Cut Coupons? And If So, Where Do You Find Them?

Although I would love to find/use more of them, we have a hard time with using coupons because of the kind of products we buy. We purchase as much organic, natural, local foods as much as possible, and it is very rare to find coupons for those types of goods. I did once find a coupon for organic yogurt from Stonyfield Farms, and I do use coupons that Seventh Generation have on their site for their own cleaning products when I need them. Every Sunday I see all the coupons for junk food and foods full of artificial ingredients, but because we don’t buy them they all go to waste. So my question to you is…do you use coupons?

TradeKing Now Reimbursing New Clients For $150 In Account Transfer Fees.

If you have been thinking of switching your brokerage house, now might be a good time to consider TradeKing. They are running a special where they are offering to reimburse new clients for up to $150 in account transfer fees, and once your account is over there trades are only $4.95 each. Is your brokerage that cheap? These guys have also been rated the #1 online broker for 2006 and 2007 (are 2008 numbers out yet?). Anyway, if you have been considering a switch, you might want to switch to TradeKing and get up to $150 of any brokerage transfer fees reimbursed.

We’re not at risk of losing our home or business (thank G-d) but our lifestyle has changed. We’ve reduced our monthly spending and we’ve eliminated our vacation plans. Even though we’ve saved for our childrens’ college since the day they were born, those investments have been clobbered. We’ve looked into different alternatives for our daughter who is about ready to start college this September.
